Once in a Lifetime! *Shattered Glass Series*

I'm the nicest person you could meet. I'm sweet, kind and caring. School's a pain and home isn't any better.. I could never really go to anyone except my guy friend Josh, but my parents don't like him. The one person I can go to is someone I don't really even know. Someone I haven't even met. And his name's Joey Graceffa. He's a youtuber and he makes me laugh all the time. I have a crush on him and would die to meet him. But It will never happen...maybe... Never give up hope.

4. "What! Are you serious?"

Isabella's POV

I woke to a bright morning. Graduation is today but I'm not going so I don't have to go to school! I walked downstairs and saw that my mom and dad were already up. "Hi. What are you making for breakfast mom?" "I'm making pancakes, eggs, and bacon! Does that sound good?" "Yes it does." I walked into the living room and saw my dad in there. "Hi dad! How's your morning going?" "Good. What about you?" "Same." I said. I sat down next to dad and watched some tv with him. My mom called us in and we sat down to eat. We said our blessings and dug in. The food was very good! "So guy's I have something to ask you!" "Sure hunny what is it?" my mom said. "Well you know Kassie right?" "Yes. What about her?" "Well she invited me to go to Los Angeles with her for a month! Her parents rented a house in this very nice neighborhood. Can I go with her? She's leaving next week."

I sat there quiet. I crossed my fingers under the table and hoped they would say yes. They didn't say anything for a few minutes which got me worried. My mom whispered something to my dad and then said "I'm sorry Isabella. Me and my dad don't want you to go. We think your too young to go. And you might get kidnapped! I'm sorry." Right then and there my heart broke. I felt like rolling up in a ball and crying. I was mad and sad at the same time. I won't be able to meet Joey. I made fists with my hands and slammed them on the table and then said "Of coarse you won't let me go! You don't let me do anything. I'm not a f*cking kid anymore! I can take of myself! Thanks for ruining my hopes! Thanks a lot!" I got out grabbed my keys and went to my car. I didn't want to be anywhere near them. I don't know where I was going. But somewhere far.

About 30 minutes later I saw a sign and it said *Crock rock River*. Me and my parents would go there all the time when I was little. I pulled onto the road and went all the way to the end. I got out and walked toward the river. When I got there I realized I was still in my pj's. I don't even care right now. I sat down next to the river and just let the breeze hit me. I smelled the river and saw fish jump out and started crying. I looked over and saw someone coming toward. I didn't know who it was. when the person got closer I realized it was a boy my age. But I didn't know who he was. He came closer to me and said "Hi!" I thought it was kinda weird for a stranger to say Hi to me but he looked nice so I said "Hi!" He sat down next to me and said "So why's a pretty girl like you by a river at 10am in the morning in her pj's doing here?" "I got in a fight with my parents. I wanted to get away form them." I said.

"Oh I see. I understand how you feel." "So why did you just come up to me? You don't even know me." "I don't know. I needed someone to talk to. I just live down the river from here." "Oh ok." "So why was you and your parents fighting for?" "Because my friend invited me to go to Los Angeles with her for a month but my parents said no and I got really mad." "Well did you try talking to them about it?" "No. I just screamed at them and left." I said. "Maybe you should talk to them. If you reason with them maybe they will say yes." "No it's no late now. They probably hate me now." "No your parents will always love you. Why don't you whip those tears away and at least try and talk to them." "Ok." I stood up and whipped the dirt off.

"Thank you for the advice." "Your Welcome. At least I helped one person today." I laughed and gave him a hug. "Well I guess if I ever come back here. Then I'll see you." "Ok see ya later." the boy said. I walked over to my car and drove home. I'm glad I talked to that guy. Even though I don't even know him.
